Allow sharing bonus points/notifications
Wouldn't it be nice if when bonus points are added in the contributor platform there were announcements?
We could post in the #thanks channel on Discord @mentioning the users if they're there
We could have a feed of sorts on the homepage or a listing somewhere
Implementation plan
Phase 1:
Post a thank you in #thanks on the GitLab community discord each time a user:
- receives reward credits
- receives bonus points
Use the "webhook" technique: we could take some inspiration from https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/developer-relations/contributor-success/toolbox/-/blob/main/lib/discord_helper.rb although we shouldn't need the complexity of splitting the messages up as they won't be long
The message could be as simple as:
Thank you and congratulations to who just receives X <reward credits/contribution points> for .
Similar to the toolbox we can tag/mention a user if they have a discord_id in the contributor platform. Something like:
def build_leader_ident(target, user, username)
if !user['discord'].empty?
"<@#{user['discord']}> (`@#{username}`)"
else
"#{user['name']} (`@#{username}`)"
end
end
